Responsibility
My choice.
My choice
My choice.
Not to kill, my treasonous mouth is the real culprit.
"It was me."
Three words, seven letters, a signed death warrant.
But it wasn't me.
How do I plead?
"Guilty."
No, no, no.
But what choice did I have?
What limits are there?
Do our children's mistakes erase our love for them?
Here I am. Take me instead.
